AN ARYAN STUDENT.

{ It was more than three thousand years
ago, in that golden era when Cinderella"
and 'sKid and ~ were coming out, that o
party Of students, young Aryans, while
pursuing theT studies under tho shadows
of the great Himalayas, were summoned
by their teacher, deeply read priest, to
overlook the doings of company OF
Daryas or slaves, who were erecting 8
curious stone temple In honor Of some
.potentate. The erudite Instructor bade
them observe the deft way In which these
artisans handled their flint hammers in
cutting and shaping their material, and
the skill they displayed in fitting their
blocks together into growing whole,
most exquisite In its symmetry and beauty.
Then he turned him about and looked
down. Suddenly his eyes sparkled with
the light Of q strange discovery, which, in
another instant, had fascinated the gszs

When Webster's Unabridged was
first published in one volume, it was
comparatively small book. Some
years after. an addition was made of
1.5OO pictorial Illustrations, table of
synonyms, and an appendix of new
words that had come into use. A few
years later came an entirely new revis-
ed edition of larger size, with 1900 pic
torial illustrations, this then, after an
interval of a few years, a biographical
dictionary of nearly 10000 names, and
a supplement of nearly 5000 new words
were added, and now there has come q
new and most valuable addition, gaz-
etteer of the world, of over 5000 titles.
The work isnow not only the dictionary.
par excellence, but a biographical die
tiOnarY, gazetteer Of the world, and a
great many other good thugs in its

little poem about blacksmith. When the
entertainment was about half through the
manager suddenly remen nbered that Barrett
was missing, and leaving the saloon he hur-
ried around looking for the missing TRACE
dian. After rushing about the deck glanc-
ing into the smoking room and the captain .
cabin, the manager finally found his way to
Barrett's stateroom and discovered the eye
of the famous tragedian peering from the
half opened door.
8" Is everything ready9 asked Barrett in a
stage whisper.
6" 'Eh, said the other, everything isready
enough. All you have to do is to step up
and speak your little piece, you know
Barrett threw open the door, dashed
through the throng of passengers in the sa-
loon, ,sprang upon the stage and stood reveal
ed in the costume of the brawny and theatri-
cal blacksmith. His hair was arranged in
studied disorder, his legs clad in corduroys,
his muscular arms barred to the shoulders
and his leather shirt thrown open at the neck
so as to show a vast expsnse of athletic chest.
AS it was gray and drilling day and the
ship was pitching about on heavy swell the
effect was not inspiring, for there were ne
footlights and calciums to help the max g. up
of the actor, and the pitching of the ship
caused him to stagger about like a drunken
reveler on the 10y walk at midnight. The
recitation was, of course, a lure, as every
body laughed at the efforts of the sturdy
blacksmith to keep on his pins, and there
was no end of guying going on all the
time"
Still they all do it, you know
